Sad Songs in the Summer seems to tell the story of recovering from a summer breakup. Everything she tries to do brings her back to her ex lover, and stalls her moving on process.
[Verse 1]
Sad songs in the summer
Heartbreak through the stereo
Find ways to recover
But it's hard tryna let you go
Sad songs in the summer
The sun's out but I sit at home
Hold on to a lover
Because it's hard tryna let you go, go
Tryna let you go‚ go
[Chorus]
I can't listen to Tame Impala
I can't look at my phone 'cause I'll call ya
Now I gotta cover all my favorite tattoos
Because they remind me of you
And I can't listen to old Nirvana
Won't even think about drinking vodka
I swear to God that everything I do
It all reminds me of you
Oh‚ oh‚ oh, it all reminds me of you
[Verse 2]
Sad songs in the summer
Heartbreak driving down your road
I'll find me another
But it won't be the antidote (Sad songs)
Sad songs in the summer
I should be out but I'm all alone
Keep it all buried under
'Cause it's hard tryna let you go
[Chorus]
I can't listen to Tame Impala
I can't look at my phone 'cause I'll call ya
Now I gotta cover all my favorite tattoos
Because they remind me of you
And I can't listen to old Nirvana
Won't even think about drinking vodka
I swear to god that everything I do
It all reminds me of you
Oh, oh‚ oh, it all reminds me of you (it all reminds me of you, oh)
Oh‚ oh, oh (Sad songs in the summer)
